EMAIL TEMPLATES
Macro email templates allow you to send customized email messages
containing site and channel data. To create or edit an email template, use
the
Tools > Email Templates…
menu item from the Macro Editor.
The email template editor always shows all ten templates. To rename a template, select it in the list and then click
on its label to edit.
Click on the template name and the text, if any, will appear in the center pane. Use the built-in text editor to enter
the text for this template. The available tokens are displayed on the right of the screen. Type in the appropriate
token for the piece of information you wish to include. All characters that are not part of a token are treated
literally. For example, to send an email stating the value of channel 1 and the site name, use the following syntax:
%mLabel1 on %site = %m1%mUnits1 at %date %time
Assuming channel 1 is “Forward Pwr”, the email message will be similar to the following:
Forward Pwr on WXYZ = 2950W at 1/1/2012 9:15:00 AM
To send an email using a template, use the
Email Report
macro command. When that macro command is
triggered, the ARC Plus will use the selected template to send an email to the list specified in the macro command.
Note:
If you’ve used a mail merge
program, this will be easy.
